Latest News: Nice one Cyril!
Cyril Smith, Former UK Politician 3rd Sep 2010
Big Cyril Smith, British Liberal MP for Rochdale throughout much of the 70s and 80s, has made a selfless contribution to world hunger by passing to the great debating chamber in the sky to give DeathList 2010 its 5th success. Smith was a well respected politician who came from a different era where there were never rumours of sharing his room/bed with his "special adviser" (although this may primarily have been as a result of safety concerns). Smith made 5 appearances on DeathList, squeezing into the number 46 slot in 2010. With a peak weight of 29 stone (406 pounds) Smith managed an impressive 82 years on this earth which probably leaves recently deceased and outstanding athlete, Laurnet Fignon, feeling short changed by 30 odd years or so. It's a funny old game.
The DeathList 2010
The research is over and the candidates have been chosen for DeathList 2010. The list comprises the celebrities thought most likely to die during 2010. A quick rundown of the rules: Candidates must be famous in their own right such that their death is expected to be reported by the UK media, however candidates cannot be famous purely for the fact they are likely to die soon. A maximum of 25 candidates on the previous year’s list can reappear on the next year’s list. The 2009 list recovered from a slow start (and some shocking misses!) to record a valiant 12 deaths. No dead certs on this year but hopefully a solid list that can deliver plenty. Despite the valued contributions of the forum members, the long-standing record of 14 deaths is starting to look tough to beat.
